The Elusive Flame

De: Kathleen E. Woodiwiss

Narrado por: Ashford McNab

A woman in desperate straits ... A fearless man ... A marriage of convenience on turbulent waters ...

Cerynise Kendall has been left destitute and in dire need following the death of her doting patron and protectress. A brilliant young artist tossed from her home with only the clothes on her back, Cerynise must now turn to a childhood companion for assistance --- the dashing sea captain Beauregard Birmingham --- and beg him to provide her with passage to the Carolinas. She seeks a new home and a new life across the waters, but all depends upon the kindness of a charming adventurer who was once the object of her youthful infatuation.

Beneath Birmingham's rugged exterior beats a heart as large and wild as the Atlantic, and Beau readily agrees to aid Cerynise --- even offering her his name in marriage, albeit temporarily, to protect his longtime friend from scandal. But perilous secrets, determined enemies and tempests of the sea and soul threaten their future and safe passage even as bonds of camaraderie are miraculously reforged as bonds of desire ... and affection becomes passion and love.

Love is strong

I did not care for the narrator. she was slow and did not project any emotion in the reading. The story was captivating and kept my interest. I fell in love with Beau and Cyrise.

Great book

Very soothing for a change but many situations going on. Very peaceful to read and all characters were great.

Excellent Listen

Loved this book and the performance. I had not read this one earlier, as I had many of her other books. Was glad I listened!

Awesome story

Kathleen Woodwiss very special story teller

The Elusive Flame by Catherine E. Woodwist.

Beautifully written, and the orchestration was wonderful and beautifully read as well. The story was intriguing and captivating as well.

Have always loved

Have love her books for many many years . Wonderful being able to listen to her them now.

A captivating story. Never boring despite its length.

The only thing that might have made it better would have been to have multiple narrators to separate the men and women’s parts. Although the narrator did a superb job.

Beloved writer of the last 20 years

I've been reading Ms. Woodiwiss for over 29 years and I never tire of re-reading them.

firey

I enjoyed every part of it. I enjoyed the era depicted. the fire read so great I could smell it.

Love Woddiwiss!!

Always keeps me on edge. I have to keep reminding myself that it’s going to turn out the way I want it to! Loved this one as much as the others… having Beau grow up and experience his life is wonderful!
